| which $1k used floorstanders for 35wpc tubes? Monitor Audio Silver Series. RX6's can be had for well under a thousand used. RX8's might suit your room and music tastes better. | |
| LFD Mk IV vs Hegel 100 I have the H200 and it sounds great paired with diverse monitors. I have Harbeth Compact 7es3's as well as Devore Gibbon 3xl's. The Devore's are probably closer to your Operas in terms of detail, etc. They are amazing when paired with the Hegel. N... | |
| Tube Break in Period / Method Things are warming up nicely. I also called Tube Depot and they said they would swap them out for full credit if I was not satisfied. They stand by their stuff. | |
| Phono Stage Hum Well I'm sure my local dealer will take them back. I pointed out the application that I was going to use them for in advance, somehow, that was lost in the discussion. Any good shielded recommendations in the $200 range? Thanks, john | |

| best deck to get vinyl into iTunes? I just purchased an Applied Research USB Phono Plus that comes with SoundSaver Express Software that I think is a notch above Audacity. You can auto fill in track names for many LP's and the reproduction quality is pretty good. All for $79 bucks. | |

| MAPLESHADE RECORDINGS I have been very pleased with the quality of the music and the stunning recordings from Mapleshade. I have picked up a dozen CD's over the past few months ranging from Al Lee, Bob Kindred, and Tao Raspoli. Very well done. | |
| Mapleshade Steamer Kit.....anyone? I've given up on the Mapleshade Phonophile Deep Cleaning Kit. What I'm convinced is their Scuzzbuster is nothing more than some household Orange Cleaner. It leaves a passage of grime for the stylus to plough through. Below is my email to them:"I p... | |
| Presentation is Too Forward, where to start? Drew, I'm not young and hearing is shot. I've lost hearing in the 1khz range and have had tinnitus for about 10 years; attributable to 70's rock concerts, JBL Jubal's driven to the max, loud Harleys, and living and working aboard one of Uncle Sam'... | |
| Presentation is Too Forward, where to start? Bombaywalla, Thanks for the input. My listening position starts at 6 feet (triangle theory, I'm 6 feet from the speakers' plane and I then find myself moving back trying to find the sweet spot. I sit in an office chair at the lowest setting and I'... | |
